Bathurst R8 MACQUARIE GEOTECH PACE

Race comment

Good effort when 3.5m 3rd $1.30 (Fr4) Kamwood Izzy Young 2100m (2:00.8) R5868 race Jan 21 then raced well to place 1.5m 2nd $3.70 (Fr7) The Mustang Bathurst 1730m (1:56.8) R5665 race Feb 2. Both runs this prep solid and has placed third up; contender here despite a tricky draw.

Race comment

Easy winner $1.20 (Sr4) over Kingston Shannon 11.5m Blayney 2000m (2:02.5) R3853 race Nov 17 then eased early and inconvenienced when 3m 3rd $4.40 (Fr7) Lochiel NZ Bathurst 1730m (1:55.6) R4758 race Jan 29. Placed first up last start and winner second up last prep; has upside and could go on here.

Race comment

Good run to place 1.2m 3rd $6.00 (Sr1) Loyola Trios Parkes 1660m (1:59.4) R5470 race Dec 31 then raced wide early when 14.5m 9th $126 (Fr8) Royal Lincoln NZ Menangle 1609m (1:53.3) R6187 race Jan 11. Definite chance on narrow defeat two back.

Race comment

Finished 27m 5th $101 (Fr4) Superbass NZ Bathurst 2260m (1:56.9) R5668 race Jan 29 then failed to get a clear run when beaten 8m 6th $126 (Sr4) Gabbys Sportstar Parkes 2040m (2:01.6) R5768 race Feb 5. Win record poor and minor place at best.

Race comment

Finished 2m 2nd $4.00 (Fr1) Hot Embers Parkes 2040m (2:03.7) R4152 race Jul 21 then eased early when 24m 8th $51 (Fr7) Kanena Provlima Bathurst 1730m (1:56.0) R5055 race Feb 2. Poor effort when resuming last start and is 0 from 3 second up.

Race comment

Eased early and checked and broke when 13.5m 5th $6.50 (Fr5) Didnt I Bathurst 1730m (1:57.0) 3F4955 race Jan 17 then won easily defeating Ardens Admiral NZ 10.5m $2.00 (Fr4) Bathurst 1730m (1:56.6) 3R4853 race Jan 29. Tougher here but stays in the mix on last start easy win.

Race comment

Held up for a run early in the straight when 15m 5th $7.00 (Sr1) Rocknroll Dude Parkes 2040m (2:00.1) R5461 race Jan 26 then eased early when 23m 6th $41 (Fr6) Kanena Provlima Bathurst 1730m (1:56.0) R5055 race Feb 2. Form only moderate.

Race comment

Was a handy winner $2.10 (Fr3) defeating Tulhurst Terror 3.2m Parkes 2040m (2:00.1) R5461 race Jan 26 then beaten 35m 8th $51 (Fr5) The Mustang Bathurst 1730m (1:56.8) R5665 race Feb 2. Might need it easier to feature.

Race comment

Caught the eye defeating Blaze Edition 3.2m $14 (Fr2) Bathurst 1730m (1:57.2) R4154 race Nov 27 then slow to begin and hung out when beaten 37.5m 9th $71 (Fr1) Uncle Jord Bathurst 1730m (1:54.6) R5771 race Dec 26. Proven at this course and distance and had excuses last start; not the worst.

Race comment

Raced wide early when 1.7m 2nd $21 (Fr6) Kamwood Izzy Young 2100m (2:00.8) R5868 race Jan 21 then beaten 20m 5th $51 (Sr1) The Mustang Bathurst 1730m (1:56.8) R5665 race Feb 2. Could be thereabouts again.
